Flagstaff's minimum wage will increase to $17.85 an hour starting January 1 — 40 cents higher than the current minimum.
The hourly pay for tipped workers will also get a bump to $16.85.
Flagstaff has the highest hourly rate for cities throughout Arizona, followed by Tucson at $15 an hour.
The statewide minimum wage will increase by 35 cents to $14.70 an hour in the new year. At that rate, a full-time job would pay about $30,000 a year.
In 2016, Arizona voters approved an initiative to adjust the minimum wage annually based on the cost of living. However, it does not apply to state or federal employees, babysitters or someone employed by a parent or sibling.
